Video Recap of Weekly Search Buzz :: October 30, 2015

This week I am doing the Search Video Recap from Jerusalem's Inbal Hotel, what a beautiful view, where SMX Israel will take place this Sunday. Today I proclaimed Google App Indexing day because I launched the iOS and Android Search Engine Roundtable app with App Indexing and more - plus I covered only App Indexing topics today - please download the app for free. Google announced RankBrain, their already existing query interpretation ranking signal that has been live for months and months now. Google Penguin will launch by the end of the year, and will be real time, so you can clean your links whenever. I shared more data on my Google Panda recovery, showing now a 40% uptick in Google organic traffic to my site. Google shared more details about sneaky and unwanted mobile redirects. YouTube is doing a big SEO no-no with canonicals reverting to 301s. Google said don’t dynamically generate your robots.txt file. Google also said the “not set” in the Google Analytics SEO report is not a bug. On Google App Indexing, Google said they support multilingual apps 3 different ways, iOS apps aren’t getting the App Indexing API ranking boost yet, they have internal search operators for app content and iOS apps should show in mobile Safari now. Google AdWords celebrated their 15th birthday a few days late. Google AdWords went big on cross device conversions this week. Finally, Bing turned a profit for Microsoft, the first time since launching Bing. That was this week in search at the Search Engine Roundtable - please download our iOS and Android app.
